Early on we noticed on the map, near the Harbor in Hoonah it was noted “on the grid”. We finally figured it out when we came across this very interesting and simple way to haul out a boat. The grid was a series of I beams almost at high tide. To haul out a boat the Captain waits at high tide positioning his boat over “the grid” and as the waters recede with the tide the boat is left “on the grid”, haul out accomplished. We talked to one boat owner, working quickly painting the bottom of his boat, hoping to finish his task before the tide changed and the boat would again be floating on the water.
